Yes, I agree. Let's hold our horses for a second here. Nobody can still say with any certainty what this is. Is it a mere manipulation or a start of the trend reversal?
I do agree that Gemini certainly had a nice influence on this rise. Even though they don't have great volumes there at the moment, Gemini was a sign to the big institutional players that Bitcoin is definitely a go!
Volume speaks for itself. Look at it. No such green volume has happened since the last bubble. Something is going on, I tell you h'wat. The feds might be pumping the price before the auction, but either way, something strange is going on and it's bullish. Think of it like that --- most of the time, bitcoin's price is falling from its last ATH. When it's not falling, it is usually in a bubble. Right now we have stopped falling. From the latter we can deduce that it must be the beginning of the next bubble.
I definitely hope that this is a sign of a trend reversal and new bubble beginning. Now I was thinking about the halving, but it's still a bit early to see the effects of halving maybe. Then people are saying that these are the Chinese and their capital controls problem that their people are trying to avoid.
I don't know, but I agree, something is definitely pushing us up and I am not complaining!
